Masters Over Satan and Sickness

As believers in Christ, we are not victims. We are masters over Satan and sickness. But sadly, too few Christians worldwide really know they are masters of Satan and circumstances. Instead of them mastering sickness, sickness and circumstances are mastering and ruling over them.

You need to know that when Satan looks at a child of God, he sees Jesus. I’m also convinced that he knows—through our words and actions—how we see ourselves. When he sees what we believe about ourselves, he either has an open door to attack us or a “NO ENTRANCE” sign!

To walk in victory, we first must know who we are! If you don’t know your identity, the enemy will define it for you!

Ephesians 2:6 says,

…and [God] raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

This is not a metaphor. This is our spiritual position. Ephesians 1:21 says we are seated with Christ, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. That includes Satan and sickness!

Colossians 1:13 adds,

[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. (AMPC)

We are already transferred. We are not trying to get free. We are already free! Now it’s time for us to walk in this freedom!

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

This includes sickness. Satan no longer has power over a believer. The only way he can access us is if we surrender our authority through fear, sin, or ignorance.

Think about police officers. They don’t look powerful because of their size but because of their authority. Their badge gives them the right to act with authority on behalf of the government. We as believers carry a spiritual badge of authority—the name of Jesus.

Philippians 2:10 tells us,

At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.

That includes demons, sickness, and oppression. When you command these to go in the name of Jesus, they must obey.

Jesus Himself said in Mark 16:17-18, “These signs shall follow those who believe…they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” You have authority to lay hands on yourself, your spouse, and your children. You have authority to lay hands on anyone who gives you permission. Sickness is an intruder, not a teacher or a punishment. And you have the right to evict it in Jesus’ name.

Now you might be thinking, “If I have authority, why am I still struggling with attacks and sickness?” Great question. Here’s the truth: authority must be exercised.

James 4:7 says, “Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Many believers love the flee part but forget about submission and resistance. We must be submitted to the Word and will of God, and we must stand our ground. We cannot fight spiritual battles with natural weapons. We overcome Satan and sickness by speaking God’s Word, standing in faith, walking in holiness, and refusing to bow to fear.

So how do we walk in mastery daily?

1.     Know the Word.Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Don’t wait for Sunday. Know the promises of God. Study and meditate in the Word daily.

2.     Speak the Word.Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Speak healing, not defeat. Speak victory, not fear.

3.     Live in obedience.Authority flows through submission. The more aligned you are with God, the more His power flows through you. When you obey God’s Word, you are in submission.

4.     Pray with boldness.Don’t beg God. You’re not a beggar, you’re a son or daughter. Speak with faith. Pray with expectation.

5.     Stand your ground.Ephesians 6 says that after you’ve done everything you know to do, stand. That means don’t give up when it’s hard. That’s when your authority counts the most.

You are not powerless. You are not a spiritual punching bag. You are a child of God, seated with Christ, filled with His Spirit, walking in divine authority.

Today, I challenge you to stop accepting what Jesus already defeated. Don’t tolerate what you’re meant to trample. Rise up in faith. Speak to that mountain. Rebuke that sickness. Stand against the devil. And walk like the master you were created to be in Christ.
